@Scoopz it probably hasn't helped that I've been watching the trailers for Biomutant, but when I watched the Pokemon Snap gameplay the flatness of the character models really stood out.
It also shouldn't take much processing power, its onrails so most of it is a glorified cutscene with moderate interaction potential.

@Blizzia I've pretty much got bored of MHrise, have a few more hunts to finish off a couple of armour sets but no voice chat means I have little incentive to grind in silence. Pokemon snap isn't worth full price (to me) so will grab that when it's on sale.
The world ends with you looks ok, but I wasn't thrilled with the first game and I've already played the Great Ace Attorney games when the fan translations were around.
No More Heroes 3 looks cool but after Travis Strikes Again will likely wait for a sale or at least until reviews are out before I get excited

All of those games are third party developers so what has Nintendo been working on for the last 2 years?

On the plus side Resi 8 and Biomutant are out this month along with the Mass Effect Trilogy so there's new games for me to play and I'm currently loving second extinction.
I play games on my night shifts so can get through 60 hours of gaming a week before I even switch a console on at home so blast through games.

@Blizzia well you could be in luck as Nintendo are starting to port the 3DS games across so you can buy your library all over again off of them like us wii-U owners got to.

As for newer third party games I tend to use my xbox or PlayStation as I'm not a fan of the reduction in quality to get them running on switch. My switch is pretty much a first party and exclusive machine - which means there's pretty much nothing coming out apart from Mario Golf as there's only ports announced so far.

@Faruko the YouTube videos I've seen put completion at around 15 hours.
That's not enough gameplay for a full priced game for me. I try to get 1 hour gameplay for each £1 spent, so I would be expecting 50 hours at least for a full priced title.

I will likely grab this when I see it for around £20 or so

I'm holding off for a decent sale, its too short for a full priced title.
It would have also been nice to see more texture on the Pokemon, they look pretty flat considering it's a scripted onrails photography - they could have at least included fur like the AC models.

@Blizzia so you think it's ok for Nintendo to rip off the customers that actually supported them through such a hard time? People say that the wii-U failed, but it only failed because "the fans" didn't support it - it had a hell of a software library, as seen by making up a significant portion of the switches.

It would actually make more sense for Nintendo to allow backwards Compatibility because there were less people who actually purchased the software first time around (especially digitally) there's less to give away.
Nintendo are one of the most greedy publishers and rely on fans blindly buying the same stuff over and over again.

I missed out on Xb1 as there wasn't enough exclusives to justify the console but have recently picked up a Series S and immediately had access to my library of over 300 xbox 360 games, in contrast with Nintendo I have to pay for NSO just to access LttP and super Metroid - games that I've already bought 5 times on different consoles.

@Blizzia "As for relying on wii u re-releases, I feel like they are in a unique situation. If you think about it, the install base of the Wii U was like 15% of the install base of the Wii, and still a very low percentage of the install bases of previous home consoles, and previous handheld consoles."

This same argument could be made for Xbox as the Xb1 sold significantly less than the 360. The difference is that Microsoft has given access to all of the previous gen games without the significant markup on price that Nintendo has done with the wii-U library. Those who supported the last console are also able to access any game previously purchased digitally for free - which Nintendo completely ignored for those of us who bought wii-U games.

This is also why the Nintendo lineup looks so barren as for the past 3 years it's mostly been full priced ports and very little new content - the same as this year is actually looking unless they unveiled something epic at E3.

Anyone who watches that trailer and thinks it's Switch gameplay is either an idiot or doesn't own a Switch - apex is sub HD handheld and only just hits 720p docked.
Its like the pre rendered trailers that "doesn't show actual gameplay" and people are shocked when they play the final product.

Its no different than food ads using fake food for their adverts and promo shots - when does a bigmac ever look like the pictures?

@Azuris "A answered call or Massage and it closes the Game in the Background because 4gb of ram are not enough."

I'm not sure what phone you have, but mine plays games at higher resolutions and frame rates than my switch does. I can't say how fortnite runs on either as I don't really as F2P games.

If more people had picked up the games and they were more successful this wouldn't have happened.
Like it or not but CoD is a money machine and generates a regular income with the warzone season pass so more devs working on it means more content. A lot of younger gamers play these F2P titles and drop a lot of money into the cosmetics

Does the extra features mean we can now add veins to the D**k faced Mii's and enhance our other NSFW creations.

Limited Run are definitely onto a winner charging way over the odds to all of the suckers that must have a box to gather dust on their shelves.

Looking forward to this, it reminds me of the Underworld board games.

I would like it on Switch for the portability but will likely get it on xbox or PlayStation as NSO is massively lacking and I will mostly play this with others.

@larryisanassman I'm not sure how big these are but the Funko Bethesda Mystery Minis featuring DOOM were £6 each. (Although the Gears Mystery Minis ended up costing me a fortune trying to track down the Golden Carmine to complete the set)
£35 for a vinyl collectable is way too high.

They are nice but way over priced when tubbz and Funko are only £10-£15

Im not surprised I think most of the series fans grabbed it on release and its not the sort of game that attracts more casual gamers.

Its only the Nintendo franchises like Mario Kart a Animal Crossing that tend to have high ongoing sales figures

I used to make a killing selling villagers - NMT for amiibo villagers and then spend them grinding for the NH exclusives which people were willing to pay money for.
I used to move about 10 - 15 villagers a night until I got bored.

@Burning_Spear it's the same as what they did with 3d world. Nintendo taking 1 step forward but still staying 50 steps behind everyone else when it comes to online infrastructure.
I would have likely picked it up if it had matchmaking and voice chat as I love a good online boardgame.

@RodSD64 does that mean it doesn't have online matchmaking?

Modern games are more naratively driven so there isn't as much need for a manual with the background like we used to need.

As a child I used to enjoy reading the manual on the bus home but now as an adult I don't really miss them at all. I tend to buy digitally anyway and all the Information needed is online so I will just flick through a wiki or forum when on the toilet, usually trying to work out how to get that last hidden achievement.
I will buy a nice strategy guide though, especially for the Zelda games.

@Ventilator will give it a go, ive not long got an xbox with gamepass and there's so much to play.

@Ventilator I really need to start Sea of Thieves, ive got it downloaded but other games keeps grabbing my attention.

@Balta666 I've just noticed it's also £5 cheaper on Xbox.
Why does a Switch tax get added to digital only games!!

Looks like a cheap Sea of Thieves knock off

Will these have online matchmaking?
Couldn't imagine playing an EDF game solo

@Azuris the Witchers ok but Doom at 30fps doesn't run well for such a fast paced shooter.
Its even more apparent now that newer FPS games are starting to drop at 120FPS, and older ones are getting enhanced patches.

@JuiceMan_V you also don't really get new games added to the NSO library either - in fact I can't actually remembering the last time I even opened the app.

I agree that you do lose games from GP, but you also get new ones added each month. I'm currently playing Rain on my Parade which dropped Day 1, will I be sad of it gets removed from GP at a later date - not at all, as I doubt I would ever play it again once I've completed it. That game alone has effectively paid for 2 months of my Gamepass.

Sony gave me the new Oddworld game this month and FF7R last month (amongst other games) and what did Nintendo add to NSO in the same time period?

I dont see the point in these ports that never run as well as they do elsewhere.

I want to see more Devs create games that utilises the Switches potential like Capcom has done with MHrise instead of a lazy port of something that hardly runs.

@JuiceMan_V you are only renting the snes and nes games on Switch - its exactly the same thing as Gamepass but with less variety. You also get the Keep the 360 games given away with Gold even if you cancel your sub!

@Dirty0814 nope, I pay £20 for 4 months Gamepass ultimate which includes GamePass, Xbox Gold and EA play and I can access the content on My consoles, Laptop and Mobile. You just need to look around for offers on the vouchers.
Saying that you can get NSO for peanuts by splitting a family plan, but as a subscriber of PS+, NSO & GPU, Nintendo's definitely feels bare bones and poor value, even for the low price point.

@JuiceMan_V I find it fascinating that people still defend a poor service like NSO just because its cheap.

Let's put it into perspective. NSO is £3.99 a month and I pay £5 a month for Game Pass Ultimate (£20 for 4 months).
For the same price as a double cheeseburger a month, I get access to over 300 games (on console, PC and Mobile), a selection of new games on Day 1 and a solid feature packed online experience over what is Provided on Nintendo's subscription service.

Animal Crossing has helped sales last year as people had to buy multiple consoles to have their own game saves.
Great business decision (even if it was a little shady).

@WiltonRoots if people blindly defend large corporations they are bootlickers, I don't care if someone agrees with me or not and being disappointed with Nintendo's output is hardly having a meltdown - as a consumer I am more than entitled to voice my displeasure. Doesn't mean I don't like the switch, it's just not that great a system and I'm not going to ignore blatant flaws or bully tactics.

@CorvoRevo They are repairing potholes on my bridge and the noise woke me up so I thought I would come online specifically to annoy you.

I would rather a full next gen remake for KotoR than have it held back just to run on switch.
A straight port of the original on switch alongside an upgrade on more powerful hardware would be cool

Gamepass coming to Switch and Breath of The wild 2 is going to be a Series X exclusive to allow for decent framerate and graphic quality

Looks pretty good to me, Isn't this how most ports run on switch?

@CarlosM87 you're wasting your time mate, a lot of the idiots defending are fully indoctrinated into the cult of Nintendo - they aren't gamers because they can't see anything past the big N, which can do no wrong In their eyes.

@RasandeRose what about sellers of third party peripherals? They also make money on the back of other bigger companies. Do you also have a problem with them?

As for scalping, I bought the MHR collector's edition and sold off the Amiibo and pin so that the game didn't cost me anything (In fact I actually made a little money) and still have the steel book to sell - is that wrong?

@AnnoyingFrenzy miitopia is a 3DS port, Skyward Sword is a slight remaster (they have included a slightly altered control scheme for SS).

I can come across as a bit gruff so apologies, it just feels like we aren't getting any of the big Nintendo games this gen - which is what I bought a switch for.
They are sitting on a wealth of IP's that they aren't doing anything with and them chasing down and taking to court anyone who does us their IP and it's just a little frustrating.

On the plus side, BioMutant is out next month that has that Nintendo feeling from the trailer and early gameplay - just a shame its not on Switch.

@eaglebob345 @AnnoyingFrenzy The point is that Nintendo has spent more time in court this gen than developing games. I get they are different departments, but what exactly are the game development teams currently working on apart from BotW2?

I didn't include games they simply funded because they didn't do any of the work other than throw money at another developer -
I dont see why people flock to defend such a large company.

@AnnoyingFrenzy one could also ask the question why you feel the need to defend a corporation when they go after the little guy without giving anything back.

You must be the sort of person that would have sided with King John over Robin Hood

@AnnoyingFrenzy I stand by my original point if they spent less time chasing the easy money through courts and CAD orders they could have developed more than 2 games a year for their best selling console.

Love those Plushies, might have to pick them up

@AnnoyingFrenzy I wasn't counting subsidiaries, but even so that's 21 games from 12 studios (based on Wikipedias list of Nintendo subsidiaries) in 4 years.
That's still really poor output for such a high selling console.

How many games have Nintendo themselves actually Developed during the Switches life cycle?

@Whitestrider I found my old R4 card at the weekend when we were decorating the lounge lol.

@RiasGremory how many games have they actually developed in the last 3 years?

If only Nintendo spent half as much time developing new games as they do taking people to court.

Will definitely wait for a sale for this as I'm not a fan of paying these big prices for remasters - this inevitably means I will be probably be buying it for the PS4 instead of the Switch.

@larryisanassman the vaccine doesn't stop transmission, it simply reduces symptoms if you contract the virus.

I expect infection rates to increase and another lockdown in the UK before the end of summer as people think they are now immune to it after having a jab and taking larger risks - there have been loads of parties and bbq's where I live the last weekend because of the nice weather and people are fed up being trapped inside.

So it's basically the Mario Lego with a different moustache and painted green.

I just wished a few more of the shrines had puzzles like these. Far too quickly I noticed the handful of shrine puzzles used and could blast through them.
The challenge ones were handy for keeping a stock of guardian weapons so I never had to worry about breaking weapons again though.

Personally for me, the shrines or Beasts never filled the hole I needed for a true dungeon in the game.
BotW reminded me of the original Assassins Creed, an amazing sand box tech demo with veey little to actually do apart from exploit the game mechanics. Hopefully the second game can lay an actual game over the foundations of the first just like AC2 did.
